Synopsis:
Is this the end of Sunnydale without its powerful vindicator,
Buffy Summers? After a no-holds-barred climactic battle with
the treacherous Glory and her minions to save her sister Dawn
and the world, Buffy gave her life to save those that she
loved. That chapter of the Slayer’s tale has forever been
closed... Now, we turn the page to find Buffy’s friends, Xander,
Willow, Spike, Anya and Tara and sister Dawn as they try to
cope with the Slayer’s death and are left to defend Sunnydale
without her. To their misfortune, a bloodthirsty band of motorcycle-riding
demons threaten to jeopardize their plan to bring the Slayer
back from the dead. To complicate matters, Giles contemplates
leaving Sunnydale.
